TC-20 General Instructions and Information
WhatÊs New
· New Corporation Forms: Utah's 2008 corporation forms have been redesigned in order that the return may be scanned on our high-speed automated scanners. While the forms themselves may look different, most of the information is still the same as on previous year returns. Research Credits: The nonrefundable tax credits for increasing research activities in Utah and for investment in machinery and equipment used to conduct research have been changed and now allow the credit in the year of the research expenditures. See page 11 for more details. Reminder -- Apportionment Sales Factor May Be Double-Weighted: Effective for tax years beginning after 2005, an election may be made to double weight the sales factor on Schedule J for apportionment of business income.The election, if made, is irrevocable and remains in effect for five years. See instructions for Schedule J beginning on page 19. Airline Apportionment Calculation Changed: For tax years beginning after 2007, an airline must determine its Utah apportionment numerators relating to mobile flight equipment, wages of flight personnel, and transportation revenue under new provisions in UC 59-7-314, 59-7-316 and 59-7-318. Utah Net Loss Carryback: New form TC-20L, Utah Application for Refund from a Corporation Loss Carryback, has been designed to carry a Utah net loss back three years. See page 8 for more information. Deduction of Net Losses of an Acquired Corporation: For years beginning after 2007, the amount of net loss carryforward deduction from an acquired corporation allowable in a combined report is limited, based on the acquired corporation's apportioned share of the unitary group's income (see UC 59-7-110(6)). Captive Real Estate Investment Trust: For years beginning after 2007, a captive real estate investment trust must be included as a member of a unitary group. See page 4 for details. Many software vendors are offering electronic corporation return filing. Check with your software provider to see if they support this program. To learn more about filing your corporation return electronically, go to tax.utah.gov/corporate/eleccorp.html.

·

Corporation Identification Numbers
The Utah State Tax Commission uses the Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) as the corporation's identification number with the state. The Utah Department of Commerce also issues a registration number upon incorporation or qualification in Utah. Enter both the EIN and Utah Incorporation/Qualification number in the fields provided. These numbers are used for proper identification of the corporate tax return and any correspondence.

·

Corporation Changes
Corporation changes (e.g., name change, physical and/or mailing address changes, merger, or ceasing to do business in Utah) must be reported in writing to both: Division of Corporations Department of Commerce 160 E 300 S PO Box 146705 Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6705 and Master File Maintenance Utah State Tax Commission 210 N 1950 W Salt Lake City, UT 84134-3310

·

·

·

Dissolution or Withdrawal
Corporations that cease to do business in Utah must either dissolve or withdraw the corporation. Corporations incorporated in Utah must file Articles of Dissolution with the Department of Commerce.In addition, Utah corporations should obtain a Certificate of Tax Clearance from the Tax Commission prior to dissolution. Corporations incorporated outside of Utah (foreign corporations) MUST obtain a Certificate of Tax Clearance from the Tax Commission before withdrawing from Utah. Foreign corporations must file an Application for Withdrawal with the Department of Commerce. To request a Certificate of Tax Clearance, complete form TC-2001 and submit it to the attention of the Customer Services Call Unit at the Tax Commission address above. The form can be found on our website at tax.utah.gov/forms. To close related tax accounts (sales, withholding, etc.), send a letter, with the account number(s) and the last date of business, to the attention of Master File Maintenance at the Tax Commission address above.

·

Electronic Filing for Corporation Returns
Utah corporation returns may be filed electronically under a joint program between the Internal Revenue Service and the Utah State Tax Commission, called the Fed/State 1120 Program. The program is similar to the federal/state individual electronic filing program in which both federal and state information is submitted at the same time. The IRS extracts its federal data and forwards the state data to the Tax Commission. No papers are required to be mailed to the agencies when filing electronically. Initially, both C corporations and S corporations may file electronically. Other corporation returns will be added in the future.

Page 1

Rounding Off to Whole-dollar Amounts
Round off cents to the nearest whole dollar. Round down if cents are under 50 cents; round up if cents are 50 cents and above. Do not enter cents anywhere on the return.

Filing Return When Period Changed
When changes are made to the taxable year, as indicated under Taxable Year above, a short-period return is required. The short-period return must cover the period of less than 12 months between the prior taxable yearend and the new taxable year. The tax rates as provided in UC §59-7-104 and §59-7-201 apply to short-period returns, which includes a minimum tax of $100.

Liability for Filing and Paying Returns
Tax Forms
The Tax Commission does not mail returns for filing corporate taxes to corporations registered with the state. If the corporation does not use software that provides the forms, you may obtain Utah forms by downloading copies from the Tax Commission website at tax.utah.gov/forms or by calling the Forms Hotline at 801-297-6700 or 1-800-662-4335, ext. 6700. NOTE: Review Supporting Federal Information later in these General Instructions to identify what federal information is required with the Utah return.

Where to File
Send the completed return and any payment to: Utah State Tax Commission 210 N 1950 W Salt Lake City, UT 84134-0300

Due Date
A return must be filed on or before the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable year. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the due date becomes the next business day.

Franchise Tax
Every C corporation incorporated in Utah (domestic), qualified in Utah (foreign), or doing business in Utah, whether qualified or not, must file a corporate franchise tax return. C corporation returns are filed on form TC-20. There is a minimum tax (privilege tax) of $100 on every corporation that files form TC-20, regardless of whether or not the corporation exercises its right to do business.

Filing Extension
Corporations are automatically allowed an extension of up to six months to file a return without filing an extension form. This is an extension of time to file the return -- NOT an extension of time to pay taxes. To avoid penalty, the prepayment requirements must be met on or before the original return due date and all returns must be filed within the six-month extension period.

S Corporation
Every S corporation (as defined in IRC Section 1361(a)) that has filed a proper and timely election under IRC Section 1362(a) must file form TC-20S, so long as the federal election remains in effect. The minimum tax does not apply to S corporations.

Prepayment Requirements
Extension Prepayments
The required extension prepayments must equal 90 percent of the current year's tax liability (or the $100 minimum tax, whichever is greater) or 100 percent of the previous year's tax liability. The tax used to compute the 90 percent amount includes the interest on installment sales and the recapture of low-income housing credit on the return. Typically, corporations that make estimated prepayments using form TC-559, Utah Corporation Franchise/ Income Tax Payment Coupon, will have complied with the 90-percent requirement and may not need to make additional prepayments to avoid extension penalties.

Income Tax
The only corporations required to file under the income tax provisions are those that derive income from Utah sources, but are not qualified to do business in Utah and have no regular and established place of business in Utah, either owned or rented, and do not maintain an inventory or have employees located at a place of business in Utah. For example, a foreign corporation with goods maintained in a public warehouse in Utah, or a trucking company operated in or through Utah by a foreign corporation not qualified to do business in Utah, is subject to income tax rather than franchise tax. Corporate income tax filers use form TC-20. A $100 minimum tax applies to the corporate income tax.

Quarterly Payments
Every corporation having a Utah tax liability of $3,000 or more in the current taxable year, or a tax liability of $3,000 or more in the previous taxable year, must make quarterly estimated tax payments. In addition, a parent company filing a combined report with affiliated companies must make the quarterly payment when the aggregate amount is $3,000 or more for all companies listed on Schedule M, including those paying only the minimum tax. A corporation is not subject to the estimated tax payment requirements the first year it is required to file a return in Utah if the corporation makes a payment on or before the due date, without the automatic extension, equal to or greater than the minimum tax.

Taxable Year
The taxable year for Utah corporation franchise or income tax purposes must match the taxable year used for federal income tax purposes. When the taxable year changes for federal purposes, the taxable year must be adjusted accordingly for Utah corporation franchise or income tax purposes. Refer to Filing Return When Period Changed below. If the taxable year is not a calendar year, enter the beginning and ending dates of the taxable year at the top of form TC-20 where indicated in the mm/dd/yyyy format.

Page 2

Quarterly estimated tax payments are due in four equal payments on the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th and 12th months of the corporation's taxable year. Corporations may elect to make the quarterly estimated tax payments equal to 90 percent of the current year's tax or 100 percent of the prior year's tax. As defined in UC 59-7-504(2), the applicable percentage of the required payment for annualized income installments, for adjusted seasonal installments, and for estimated tax payments based on the current year tax liability, is the following:

Exceptions to Penalty on Estimated Tax
Annualized Exception
A corporation may annualize its income before determining the amount of each installment. It is recommended federal guidelines be followed in determining annualized income. If the corporation meets the annualized exception at the federal level for any installment, check the appropriate box(es) on form TC-20, line 15.

Recurring Seasonal Exception
A corporation with recurring seasonal income may annualize its income before determining the amount of each installment. It is recommended federal guidelines be followed in determining seasonal income. If the corporation meets the seasonal exception at the federal level for any installment, check the appropriate box(es) on form TC-20, line 15.

Installment

Percentage

1st 22.5 2nd 45.0 3rd 67.5 4th 90.0 If a taxpayer elects a different annualization period than the period used for federal purposes, the taxpayer must make an election with the Tax Commission at the same time as provided in IRC Section 6655. Estimated tax payments should be made with form TC-559, Utah Corporation Franchise/Income Tax Payment Coupon.

Prepayment of Minimum Tax Requirement
Corporations that meet the prepayment requirement in the current year and had a tax liability of $100 (the minimum tax) for the previous year may choose to prepay the minimum tax amount of $100 on the 15th day of the 12th month instead of four increments of $25. Corporations that met the prepayment requirement in the previous year and have a tax liability of $100 (the minimum tax) in the current year may choose to prepay the minimum tax amount of $100 on the 15th day of 12th month instead of four increments of $25. In this scenario, the corporation must pay $100, not 90 percent.

What to Attach and What to Keep
Include the following with your Utah TC-20. Also, keep copies of these with your tax records. · Utah Corporation Return Schedules: Attach Utah schedules A, B, C, D, E, H, J, and/or M, if applicable. Federal Return: Attach only pages 1 through 5 of your federal corporation return, plus Schedule M-3, if applicable. Do not send the Tax Commission your entire federal corporation return.

·

Interest

(in addition to penalties due)

Do not send a copy of your entire federal return, credit schedules, worksheets, or other documentation with your Utah return. Keep these, along with any supporting documentation, in your files. You may be asked to furnish this information later to verify entries on your Utah return.

Interest will be assessed on any underpayment from the original due date until any outstanding liability is paid in full. The interest rate for most taxes and fees administered by the Tax Commission for the 2009 calendar year is 5 percent. Pub 58, which contains applicable interest rates, is available on the Internet at tax.utah.gov/forms or by calling or writing the Tax Commission.

Penalties
Utah law (UC §59-1-401) provides penalties for failure to file tax returns by the due date, failure to pay tax due on time, failure to make sufficient prepayment on extension returns, and failure to file information returns or supporting schedules. Details of these penalties, along with a list of additional penalties, can be found at tax.utah.gov/billing/penaltyinterest.html and in Pub 58, Utah Interest and Penalties, online at tax.utah.gov/forms. The Tax Commission will calculate the penalty for underpayment of required prepayments.

Suspension for Failure to Pay Tax Due
Utah law provides for suspension of a corporation's right to do business in Utah if it fails to pay taxes due before 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the 11th month after the due date. If a corporation owes tax and is unable to pay all of the amount owed, the corporation may complete form TC-804B, Payment Agreement Request, available online at tax.utah.gov/forms.

Supporting Federal Information
Federal form 1120, pages 1 through 5, as filed with the IRS, should be attached to the Utah Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return, TC-20. If you are required to file the form 1120, Schedule M-3 with your federal return, include a copy with your Utah return also. Other detail schedules, including the balance of your federal corporation return, should NOT be included with the Utah return unless otherwise specified in these instructions. The Auditing Division of the Tax Commission may request these detail schedules at a later date.

The property, payroll and sales of an REIT are included in the factors of the combined group to the extent otherwise provided in Utah laws and rules. Intercompany transactions between a captive REIT and any member of the unitary group must be removed from the sales factor. Similarly, intercompany rents must be removed from the combined property factor.

WaterÊs Edge Combined Report
A unitary group is required to file on a water's edge basis unless the worldwide combination method has been elected. A water's edge combined report includes the income and activities of all members of a unitary group that are: · Corporations organized or incorporated in the United States, including those corporations qualifying for the Puerto Rico and Possession Tax Credit as provided in IRC Section 936; and Corporations organized or incorporated outside of the United States meeting the threshold level of business activity.

Combined Reports
Any corporation owned by another corporation, or owning more than 50 percent of another corporation, or a group of corporations related through common ownership (i.e., certain brother/sister corporations) and engaged in unitary business activity, must file a combined report, including the combined income of all such corporations. For years beginning in 2008, a captive real estate investment trust must be included as a member of a unitary group. A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a captive real estate investment trust if the shares or beneficial interests of the REIT are not regularly traded on an established securities market and more than 50 percent of the voting power or value of the shares or beneficial interests of the REIT are directly, indirectly or constructively owned or controlled by a controlling entity of the REIT.

·

WaterÊs Edge Election
A group of corporations that are not otherwise a unitary group may elect to file a water's edge combined report under UC §59-7-402(2) if each member of the group is: · · · Doing business in Utah; Part of the same affiliated group; and Qualified under IRC Section 1501 to file a federal consolidated return.

Unitary Business
A unitary business exists if the activities of the corporations (subsidiary or affiliated corporations related through common ownership) are economically interdependent as demonstrated by the following factors: · · · Strong centralized management Functional integration Attainment of operational economies of scale

Each corporation within the affiliated group doing business in Utah must consent to filing a combined report. If an affiliated group elects to file a combined report, each corporation within the affiliated group doing business in Utah must file a combined report. Corporations that elect to file a water's edge combined report under this section may not thereafter elect to file a separate return without the consent of the Tax Commission.

Worldwide
A unitary group may elect to file a worldwide combined report.When the worldwide combined reporting method is elected, the income/loss of each corporation within the unitary group must be included regardless of the country in which the corporations are incorporated or conduct business. Corporations electing to file a worldwide combined report may not thereafter elect to file a return on a basis other than a worldwide combined report without the consent of the Tax Commission.

Instructions for Combining Captive Real Estate Investment Trusts
The income and factors for a captive real estate investment trust are included in a manner similar to other unitary corporations in the combined group. Utah statutes include taxable income from federal form 1120-REIT before the net operating loss deduction and the deduction for dividends paid. A Utah deduction is allowed for the IRC Section 857(b)(2)(E) deduction. A subtraction is also allowed for dividends received from a captive real estate investment trust by a member of the unitary group. This subtraction is essentially an intercompany elimination since the 1120-REIT taxable income is included before the federal dividends paid deduction.

Threshold Level of Business Activity
Foreign corporations that conduct 20 percent or more of their business activity in the United States, as measured by the average of the property and payroll factors, must be included 100 percent in a water's edge combined report. Any business activity in Utah will subject a foreign corporation to Utah franchise tax. The threshold test for purposes of combined reporting determines whether the foreign corporation is a member of a unitary group.

Page 4

Foreign Dividends
Fifty percent of unitary foreign dividends are included in adjusted income. The remaining 50 percent, less expenses, are excluded. Refer to UC §59-7-106(11)(a). Adjustment to the denominators of the apportionment fraction for each dividend-paying company is provided at the ratio that the included dividend bears to the total earnings and profits for dividend-paying companies.

Preparation of Combined Report(s)
A group filing a combined report will calculate adjusted income of the combined group by: 1. Determining which corporations are unitary; 2. Computing unadjusted income on a separate return basis; 3. Combining income or loss of the members included in the combined report; 4. Making appropriate eliminations and adjustments between members included in the combined report to arrive at unadjusted income on a combined basis; and 5. Making additions and subtractions to unadjusted income as outlined in Schedules B, C and D to arrive at adjusted income. A unitary group of corporations is considered a single taxpayer for purposes of the assignment of sales in the sales factor of the apportionment fraction. Therefore, sales of tangible personal property by any member of the unitary group delivered or shipped into Utah are includable in the Utah sales numerator. Conversely, such sales originating in Utah, which are delivered or shipped to another state, will not be thrown back to the Utah sales numerator if any member of the unitary group has a taxable presence (nexus) in that state. Refer to Tax Commission Rule R865-6F-24.

1. If the target corporation is a member of a unitary group immediately preceding the acquisition date, the target corporation must be included in a combined report to the extent of its income through the acquisition date. The gain or loss on the deemed sale of assets is included in the combined income of the unitary group. 2. If the target corporation is not a member of a unitary group immediately preceding the acquisition date, the target corporation must file a short-period return for the period ending on the acquisition date and must include the gain or loss on the deemed sale of assets in its adjusted income. 3. Any gain or loss on stock sold or exchanged by a member of a selling consolidated group (as defined in IRC Section 338) which is not recognized for federal purposes may not be included in the adjusted income of the selling corporation. 4. The target corporation is treated as a new corporation as of the day after the acquisition date.

IRC Section 336(e)
If an election is made under IRC Section 336(e), the transaction must be treated as follows: 1. If the corporation is treated for federal purposes as having disposed of all of its assets and is a member of a unitary group immediately preceding the date of sale, the corporation must be included in a combined return to the extent of its income through the date of sale. The gain or loss on the deemed disposal of assets is included in the combined income of the unitary group. 2. If the corporation is treated for federal purposes as having disposed of all of its assets and is not a member of a unitary group immediately preceding the date of sale, the corporation must file a shortperiod return for the period ending on the date of sale and must include the gain or loss on the deemed disposal of assets in its adjusted income. 3. Any gain or loss not recognized for federal purposes on stock sold, exchanged or distributed by a corporation pursuant to IRC Section 336(e) may not be included in adjusted income. 4. The new basis of assets of the corporation treated as having disposed of its assets is the same as determined for federal purposes. 5. The corporation treated as having disposed of its assets is treated as a new corporation as of the day after the date of sale.

IRC Sections 338, 338(h)(10), and 336(e)
An election made or considered to be made under IRC Sections 338, 338(h)(10) and 336(e) is also followed for Utah purposes.

IRC Section 338
If a federal election is made under IRC Section 338, the target corporation must file a separate entity one-day tax return for Utah purposes, as required for federal purposes. The target corporation must include the gain or loss on the deemed sale of assets in its adjusted income. See UC §59-7-114 for further details. Form TC-20MC, a one-day corporation tax return for a target corporation, is available at tax.utah.gov/forms.

Installment Sales
If a corporation is no longer required to file a Utah corporate return, any taxes owed by that corporation on installment sales entered into by that corporation shall accelerate and be due on the corporation's last return filed in Utah.

IRC Section 338(h)(10)
If an election is made for federal purposes under IRC Section 338(h)(10), the following apply:

Instructions for Schedule H ­ Nonbusiness Income Net of Expenses
Determine nonbusiness income allocated to Utah and outside Utah by completing this schedule. All income that arises from the conduct of the trade or business operations of a corporation is business income. Nonbusiness income means all income other than business income and will be narrowly construed. Intangible income must be properly classified and based upon factual evidence. The burden of proof is on the corporation to justify the manner in which the income is claimed on the return. Interest income is business income where the intangible with respect to which the interest was received arises out of or was created in the regular course of the taxpayer's trade or business operations. (Tax Commission Rule R865-6F-8(1)(c)(iii)) Dividends are business income where the stock, with respect to which the dividends are received, arises out of or was acquired in the regular course of the taxpayer's trade or business operations. Because of the regularity with which most corporate taxpayers engage in investment activities, income arising from the ownership, sale or other disposition of investments is presumptively business income. (Tax Commission Rule R865-6F-8(1)(c)(iv)) Gain or loss from the sale, exchange or other disposition of real or tangible or intangible personal property constitutes business income if the property, while owned by the taxpayer, was used in the taxpayer's trade or business. (Tax Commission Rule R865-6F-8(1)(c)(ii)) Rental income from real and tangible property is business income if the property, with respect to which the rental income was received, is used in the taxpayer's trade or business or includable in the property factor. (Tax Commission Rule R865-6F-8(1)(c)(i)) If the corporation is claiming only Utah nonbusiness income, lines 1a through 13 must be completed. If the corporation is claiming only non-Utah nonbusiness income, lines 14a through 26 must be completed. If the corporation is claiming both Utah and non-Utah nonbusiness income, lines 1a through 26 must be completed. Use additional pages, if necessary, to provide complete information, including a description of the business purpose for making the investment, the transactions creating the non-business income, and the use of revenues generated by the non-business investment.

Instructions for Schedule J ­ Apportionment Schedule
Determine the apportionment fraction (decimal) by completing this schedule. The factors express a ratio for tangible property in Utah, for wages and salaries in Utah, and for sales in Utah. These factors are added together and divided by the number of factors present (typically 3) to arrive at the Utah apportionment fraction calculated to six decimals. This fraction is to be applied to the apportionable income (or loss) on Schedule A to arrive at the amount of income (or loss) apportioned to Utah. In cases where one or more of the factors is omitted due to peculiar aspects of the business operations, divide by the number of factors present. For taxable years beginning after 2005, an election may be made to double weight the sales factor in the apportionment calculation. The election, once made, is irrevocable and must be used for five taxable years. The election is made by entering an "X" in the box on line 9 and completing lines 10 through 12 on Schedule J. Income or loss from partnership or joint venture interests must be included in income and apportioned to Utah through application of the three-factor formula consisting of property, payroll and sales.

Page 19

For apportionment purposes, the portion of partnership or joint venture property, payroll and sales to be included in the corporation's property, payroll and sales factors must be computed on the basis of the corporation's ownership interest in the partnership or joint venture. Briefly describe the nature and location(s) of your Utah business activities in the space provided at the top of this schedule.

Line 4 ­ Payroll Factor Calculation
Determine the payroll factor (decimal) by dividing line 3a column A by line 3a column B.

Lines 5a - 5h ­ Sales Factor
The sales factor is the fraction the sales or charges for services within Utah for the taxable year bear to the overall sales for the taxable year. Gross receipts from the performance of services are in Utah to the extent the services are performed in Utah. Sales of tangible personal property are in Utah if the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser within Utah regardless of the F.O.B. point or other conditions of the sale, or if the property is shipped from an office, store, warehouse, factory or other place of storage in Utah and: (1) the purchaser is the United States Government, or (2) the corporation is not taxable in the state of the purchaser. Overall sales, including Utah, are listed in column B. Nexus definition: The jurisdictional link that must be present before a state may tax a corporation upon its activities within a state's borders. NOTE: Exception to the above method for securities brokerage businesses can be found in UC §59-7-319(3). Enter totals of lines 5a through 5g in their respective columns on line 5h.

Lines 1a - 1f ­ Property Factor
Show the average cost value during the taxable year of real and tangible personal property used in the business within Utah (including leased property) in column A and overall (including Utah) in column B. Property owned by the corporation is valued at its original cost. Property rented by the corporation is valued at eight times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual rental rate paid by the corporation less the annual rate received by the corporation from subrentals. The average value of property must be determined by averaging the cost values at the beginning and end of the tax period. However, monthly values may be used or required if monthly averaging more clearly reflects the average value of the corporation's property. A supporting schedule should be attached whenever monthly averaging is used. Enter totals of lines 1a through 1e in their respective columns on line 1f.

Line 6 ­ Sales Factor Calculation
Determine the sales factor (decimal) by dividing line 5h column A by line 5h column B.

Line 2 ­ Property Factor Calculation
Determine the property factor (decimal) by dividing line 1f column A by line 1f column B.

Equally-Weighted Three Factor Formula
If you are not electing the double-weighted sales factor (see lines 9 through 12 below), complete lines 7 and 8. If you are electing the double-weighted sales factor, leave lines 7 and 8 blank.

Line 3 ­ Payroll Factor
Wages, salaries, commissions and other includable compensation paid to employees for personal services must be included in the Utah factor to the extent the services, for which the compensation was paid, were rendered in Utah. Compensation is paid in Utah if: 1. The individual's service is performed entirely within Utah; 2. The individual's service is performed both within and outside Utah, but the service performed outside Utah is incidental to the individual's service within Utah; or 3. Some of the service is performed in Utah and: a. The base of operations or, if there is no base of operations the place where the service is directed or controlled, is within Utah, or b. The base of operations or the place where the service is directed or controlled is not in any state where some part of the service is performed, but the individual's residence is in Utah. Amounts reportable for employment security purposes may ordinarily be used to determine the wage factor. Overall wages, including Utah, are listed in column B.

Line 7 ­ Total Factors
Enter the sum of the factors from lines 2, 4 and 6.

Line 8 ­ Apportionment Fraction
Calculate the apportionment fraction to six decimals by dividing line 7 by the number of factors used (typically 3 ­ property, payroll and sales). If one or more of the factors are not present (i.e., there is a zero in the denominator on lines 1f, 3a or 5h in column B), divide by the number of factors present. If the numerator is zero, but a denominator is present, include that factor in the number of factors present. Enter the apportionment fraction (decimal) here and on Schedule A, line 9, if not electing the double-weighted sales factor below.

Double-Weighted Sales Factor Election
You may elect to give double-weight to the sales factor in the apportionment calculation. The double-weighted sales factor election is irrevocable and must be used for five years. If you elect this calculation, enter an "X" in the box on line 9 and complete lines 10 through 12.

Page 20

Line 9 ­ Making the Election
Enter an "X" in the box on line 9 if you elect to doubleweight the sales factor.

Line 10 ­ Double Sales Factor
Multiply the sales factor (decimal) from line 6 above by 2. This will result in the sales factor being considered twice in the calculation.

Common Return Errors
1. Losses applied incorrectly ­ For tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 1994, if an election is made to forego the federal net operating loss carryback, a similar election is considered to be made for Utah purposes, unless the taxpayer makes a specific election to carryback the Utah loss. Losses may be carried forward for 15 taxable years. See the instructions for Schedule A, lines 12 and 13. 2. Unitary businesses not filing a combined report ­ Groups of corporations that are engaged in an integrated unitary business must file on a combined basis. See instructions on page 4. 3.

However, sales into Utah are not required to be included in the gross receipts numerator, except as provided under Utah Rule R865-6F-24. Conversely, corporations making sales from Utah into a state where they are qualified but not doing business are required to include such sales in the Utah gross receipts numerator as throwback sales, except as provided under Utah Rule R865-6F-24. 4. Net capital losses may not be carried back ­ Capital losses may be deducted in full in the year incurred or may be carried forward. See UC 59-7-106(2). 5.
